Chapter 165: Spirit Field
Dong Huirong turned around and faced Lin Feng, "Lin Hao, you are already able to join a faction, so I invite you to join the Alchemy Faction.
You don’t have to say yes just because I asked. You can still choose any other factions, but given your skills in alchemy, this is the best faction for you, so think wisely." Dong Huirong waited for his response after saying that.
Lin Feng had already decided to join the Alchemy Faction. It wasn’t like he was interested or something. This would just give him a lot of benefits for making his pills, and there was a chance that he would be able to find the recipe of the pill he was after.
After all, she might be the only person or maybe one of the people’s who was involved in making those pills, "I accept, Elder Dong."
Dong Huirong smiled in approval, "Welcome to the Alchemy Faction then."
"Welcome junior brother..."
...
Lin Feng slightly bowed again to everyone, "Thank you for having me."
"Interested in creating a pill so we can watch?" Dong Huirong asked. She herself was quite interested.
Lin Feng nodded. It wasn’t a problem for him. He moved towards one of the empty stands where the pill cauldron was placed. There were a few herbs beside it too, and they were of low grade, Grade 2 and Grade 3 respectively.
It was obvious that these disciples were practicing. Using Grade 5 or Grade 6 spirit herbs was a waste.
There were Silverleaf herb, Whiteflame Orchid, and Spirit Dew Berry. He could make a Qi Flow Stabilizing Pill with them.
He took them and placed them in the cauldron before igniting the flames. His refinement was quite reckless as usual, using a burst of flame to burn the impurities first then immediately lowering the flames so that the herbs wouldn’t get burned in the process.
The timing was so impeccable that everyone got stunned. They all had spiritual sense, so they were able to track his herb refinement.
Dong Huirong’s eyes were shining. She really was intrigued by his reckless yet perfect refinement.
This way of refining herbs could easily shorten the overall time taken to create the pills, but others could not do it unless they could also control the flames with this accuracy.
Soon, Lin Feng was done with the refinement and waited for the refined herbs to cool down a little. At this stage, even he paid a little attention. He had to wait for the perfect time to combine them.
After 2 breaths, he felt it was the perfect time, so he immediately combined them, and once they had combined perfectly, he raised the flames once again for a single breath, merging them perfectly.
And that was it. He took them out and placed them beside the cauldron.
Dong Huirong sighed in amazement while others were still in a stunned state. They still couldn’t believe how easy it looked, but they also knew that it was only because Lin Hao was doing it.
"That was astonishing," Dong Huirong praised Lin Feng, she didn’t have to pick the pill to see it’s efficiency.
Lin Feng didn’t show a smile, "Thank you, Elder Dong."
"If only others were half as good as you, then our sect wouldn’t be any less than the Crimson Flame Palace. In fact, we would have been better... sigh," Dong Huirong sighed.
When others heard that, they came out of their stupor and became a little ashamed, but it wasn’t their fault. Not everyone had the talent of Lin Hao. They even doubted that Elder Dong was half as good as Lin Hao when she was at the Core Formation Realm.
They couldn’t say it out loud. They weren’t tired of their lives yet.
"Let’s go," Dong Huirong said while turning around to leave the hall.
Lin Feng took the pills. He wasn’t going to leave 600 to 700 spirit stones. They came to the pavilion, and Dong Huirong pointed towards chambers inside it, "All these chambers are available for disciples. These chambers have special pill cauldrons as well as access to Earthly Flames.
You are still too weak to control earthly fire, so I won’t allow you to use it for the time being, but other than that, you can do whatever you want in these chambers.
Also, now that you are part of the Alchemy Faction, you can wear this badge if you want."
She took out a small badge which had a small cauldron made on it and handed it to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng took it and immediately wore it. He had seen this badge on the disciples outside and on Li Wei in the inner sect.
"You already get the maximum discount on spirit herbs, so the only other perk you can get is to plant your spirit herbs in the spirit field for free."
Lin Feng was a little surprised when he heard that, "The spirit field belongs to the Alchemy Faction?" That was quite a big spirit field. Surely it belonged to the whole sect.
"Not really, but it is managed by us, and we get exclusive 30 percent of the field for our own use," Dong Huirong said with a smile, "Now there is one more thing. All disciples who are part of factions have to do some missions. Although you are exempted from it, if you want, you can pick yourself a mission. You will be paid spirit stones, of course.
Don’t expect too many spirit stones though. These are compulsory missions to keep the sect working smoothly."
Lin Feng nodded, "What are the missions?" He didn’t mind doing some missions to involve himself more deeply to sect.
"With your strength, you can create low-grade pills or become the attendant at the spirit herb hall... Ahh yes, there is one more, managing the spirit field. If you have good knowledge about spirit herbs, then you can definitely do it. You will have some helpers to help you too."
Lin Feng nodded. He didn’t want to sit as an attendant, nor did he have intentions to create low-grade pills. Managing the spirit field was good enough for him. It was near the peak where he lived too, "I have more than enough knowledge about spirit herbs, Elder Dong. Do I have to give a test for it?"
